A Question Mark?

This is from Astronomy Picture of the Day for 25/3/19. An astonishing photograph of two galaxies in the process of merging after one having passed through the other. The most curious feature is the trail of stars forming in between the upper and lower portions – not a usual consequence of such a situation.
The whole does look, though, a bit like an alien’s head or a slightly distorted question mark.
